Vicky Barrett Obituary

Edgerton, WI - Vicky Lynn Barrett passed away on Saturday, December 13, 2025, surrounded by family, after a long illness. Vicky was born September 26, 1963, to Roger and Patricia (Peterson) Eikland in Fort Atkinson, the fourth of seven kids. She was raised along the Rock River, where she enjoyed fishing with her Grandpa Peterson. Vicky graduated from Jefferson High School in 1982. She married William (Bill) Barrett on September 26, 1987.

She began working at Bon Ton Bakery in Jefferson at 15 and moved on to Rowe Pottery before becoming a stay-at-home mom for her three boys: Chris, Nick (Kaitlyn), Matt/Ole (Savanna Wendtland). She loved being a mom and meeting her granddaughter, Blake.

While managing their home, Vicky worked alongside her husband and boys raising tobacco on their farm. She was an accomplished cook and baker and enjoyed working in her flower beds. She made every birthday special, and enjoyed celebrating all holidays, especially Christmas.

She is survived by her husband Bill, her family: Chris, Nick & Kaitlyn, Ole & Savanna, and her granddaughter, Blake; her siblings: Pam (Jeff) Poredos, Scott (Jane), Tony, Lori (Jason Draves) McCulloch-Eikland, Kathy (Dale) Tietz; and brother-in-law, Steve Ament, her Barrett in-laws and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Roger and Pat; and her sister, Wendy Ament.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, at ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH. Burial will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.
